Condoms were removed from a campus drug store at National University of Singapore this week, but amid considerable attention locally, the university said that sales may resume, Bloomberg[1] reported. Many had criticized the decision -- now called a "misunderstanding" by the university -- to have the condoms removed. One student told the news service that the university "is afraid of the implications that selling condoms might have on students living in dorms. If you want to have sex, you’ll get it somewhere else. Taking condoms on and off shelves isn’t the right way to deal with such issues.”
